“When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding.

“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... The analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.” ThinkingKnowsWayIdeasFactsFormUsedUnderstandingAcceptingKnowingUnderstoodAccountsAssumingFamiliarUsed To BeAnalysisThoughtfulDeceivingPros And Cons Author:Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists.
